Helpful Checking Account Hints

1. Be aware of your current balance, and only spend money when you have the funds available to avoid overdrawing your account. Set up balance alerts in Web Branch to receive email or text message alerts on your accounts.
2. Keep a register of all account activity, including checks and debit card transactions. Don't assume the balance on your ATM receipt is your actual balance as there may be other pending transactions.
3. Read your account statement and make sure everything is accurate. Review your account online and report anything that looks suspicious. Sign up for Web Statements to receive your account statements online.
